The online troll who shared video of a dancing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a bid to mock the newly sworn-in congresswoman has deleted his Twitter account. Twitter user @AnonymousQ1776 blasted the progressive politician as “America’s favorite commie-know-it” and a “clueless nitwit” in a tweet Jan. 2.

It was initially posted on YouTube in 2010, the year before Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University.
